and that's also israel's intent. so a possibility that they may have satisfied what they were trying to do. and, of course, if israel's preemptive attack reestablishes some deterrence between those two, that would be a very good thing. doctor rebecca grant, thank you so much for your time this evening, kevin. i'll send it over to you all right. thank you. behnam ben taleblu is a senior fellow at the phd with a particular focus on iran nonproliferation, proliferation, ballistic missiles and international security. i just want to welcome him in to the program. and ben, thank you for your time this morning. i just want to get your thoughts, not just on the idea of self-defense. here we have heard from the idf that about 200 rockets have been launched from lebanon toward israel. but we're also dealing with more than just self-defense of the israeli homeland. we're talking about regional security here as well. what can you tell us about that? that's right. it's a pleasure to be with you, listening. make no mistake, octobe

israel's greatest world allies. well, to understand this, we really need to go back to israel as settler colonial state, the experience and expertise it's acquired over so many. decades in terms of the oppression of the palestinian people, the build-up of this expertise has really given the israeli state a comparative advantage of the international marketplace when it comes to supporting other states, oppress their people, and this is really where the common interest between the israeli state and the colombian state lies. colombia of course has been historically engaged in the oppression of the colombian people, preventing any... changed and israel has played an important role in terms of supporting colombia's counter insurgency activities in this sense. well david, president petros described israel's assault on gaza as a massacre and and a genocide strong condemnation makes him rather unique, doesn't it? well, not unique, but uh, amongst a small number of of countries whose whose leaders have come out and said simi

in israel.o be evacuated to some place else in israel, living out of a hotel, going to somebody else's school. that is simply unsustainable for a democracy. remember, israel is the size of new jersey. hezbollah has just decided to make them evacuate bergen county. that that can't happen in a democracy. rich goldberg and david dowd from the ftd. gentlemen, thank you so much, and we hope you'll stand by as we continue our coverage here on fox news channel. the idf preemptively striking missile sites in lebanon, some 6000 missiles at the ready taken out in strategic and precision strikes by the idf. more than 100 aircraft helping to make that happen. we continue our coverage here on fox. i'm kevin corke in washington, joined by chanley painter in new york. quick break. our coverage continues after a very quick timeout as israel attempts once again to defend itself from a again to defend itself from a potenti have dry eye... tired, itchy, burning... my symptoms got worse over time. my eye doctor exp

, and israel barely retaliated. iranians are probably feeling good about that, as they should, and in the final point is the sanctions against iran are not working the way they once were, they have weakened, so if you look overall at what's happened to the iranians and what's happening to the americans and especially what's happening to the israelis, you see that the situation after october 7th is fundamentally different than the situation before october 7th, just in the case of the israelis before october 7th, it looked like they were in the catbird sea, they were managing very well in their own opinion the situation in gaza, and by the way, i want to be clear here, i thought they were doing an excellent job. of managing the problem in gaza, i thought they had things under control. i was shocked by what happened on october 7th, but once october 7th happened, and as we've watched these two conflicts play themselves out: one, the war in gaza, and how that's linked to hezballah, you don't want to forget, and then two,

and will show no mercy to the regime. can israel withstand?e one loser, the zionist regime, given that the occupied territories is a..." small area geographically, the israeli regime is inherently lacking in strategic depth, making it relatively easy to target the entire region. in contrast, iran is vast country, the 16th largest in the world by area, and the regime would struggle to target the whole nation. our critical centers are dispersed throughout the country, unlike those of israel, which are concentrated in a few cities. this makes them particularly vulnerable, further more, the israeli prime. is facing increasing pressure both domestically and internationally. even within israel, many are now holding netanyahu accountable for their current situation. in iran, however, the circumstances are quite different. when iran launched operation true promise, nearly 10 million people volunteer to fight against israel. similarly, israel's international standing is deteriorating due to its genocidal campaign in gaza, while iran is gaining populari

credit rating agency has downloaded israel's credit rating, but no matter how you look at it, israel's economy can only get worse as long as the genocidal war. continues, now it's a matter of whether israel's economy can withstand the genocidal war. hi, i'm kwei, welcome to economic divide. some of the highlights coming up in today's program: israel's credit downgrade, we will take a look at how fitch has downgraded israel's credit uh from outlook uh that it had to negative one. continued genocide, according to fitch, is driving negative indicators. also, uh, more of an expansion of the credit downgrade. this is... the third agency so far to do that, it expanded on other negative economic indicators like a budget deficit, 7.8% of the gdp growth, and also business shutdowns and mass migration are contributing to israel's economic crisis. the continuation of the genocide, another highlight of this program, well into 2025, there are war risks on other fronts, and this really regime is waiting responses to come from iran and hezbollah, how will that? impact israel's economy, israel's secon

when asked, do you think israel is headled to civil war? 46% said they fear it while 48% do not, the remaining 6% were unsure. zinist public security minister itavier topped the poll as the most devisive public figure. when asked, whom do you think is the most devisive public figure in israel? 70% answered ben gavier was devisive, while just 19% see him as a unifier. he is closely followed by three other coalition members, trans. minister miri regev, finance minister bedzalel smotric and loud backbencher tali got leave. now zionist prime minister benjamin netanyahu is regarded almost equally as devisive with 62% and a unifier by 30%. even among his supporters, 30% consider him devisive while a striking 93% of his opponents believe so. now let us move to the most notable expose voices for this week. in a shocking scene to the western world where demands of regime change would have been called if it were a third world country, the uk has been facing the worst disorder it has seen in more than decade after outbreaks of a far right anti-immigra

the united states israel's... primary ally has been working around the clock to thort any iranian retaliation, employing mix of threats and efforts to forge regional coalitions. meanwhile, iran has consistently asserted its right to respond to the killing of its diplomatic guess on iranian soil, making this clear in discussions with various heads of state and at international forums. despite claiming to be prepared for any scenario from iran, israelis cannot hide the underlying fear of possible strikes from the... distance access with tehran at the forefront. since the faithful assassination of murder ismail hannah in the heart of tehran, the air has been charged with anticipation. every single day, if not every hour, global media outlets echo a similar refrain. the islamic republic of iran's retaliatory operation is eminent. as the drums of war resound through the region, the world holds its breath. yet, tehran remains strategically silent, bidding its time in the shadow of israel's unspeakable crime, the stage i

lebanon-israel border. and a lot of people do live up there. so it will be curious to see how negotiators are interpreting all of this. and honestly, what happens over the next couple of days could really determine a lot, not only for this region, but particularly for the people in gaza. and jeff, kevin, now bringing in has some questions. kevin. thank you. jeff. i want to ask what, if anything, have we heard from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu? obviously, this is a circumstance where you might imagine he might have a message for not just the israeli people, but for the global community. have you heard anything about that? well, obviously, you know, netanyahu has always toed the line that, you know, israel has the right to defend itself. the u.s. has backed him up on that. that israel does have the right to defend itself. we know that the cabinet will be getting together today at some point this will obviously be a huge topic of conversation. and again, the country right now is under this emergen

more civilians are killed in israel's attacks. gaza where the total death toll from the warneers 39,500. and yemenes hold another week of mass rallies to honor the late hamas leader ismael hania and reiterate their support for the palestinian people.

israel weran, ישמה.israel should pay attention to the uh locals inside of israel because they are now afraid israel needs to treat them differently to have some strategies regarding them but uh it seems from his words that no it's not happening the way they want and number three he's speaking about the region, well what netanyahu did is that he moved the war a little bit outside of gaza towards the region, towards the region with more than three to four fronts, and this is what the general is saying that you can't do this while you already stuck inside of gaza inside of small piece of land where you can't finish your war, you're going to open another front with three, four regional powers especially iran, and that's a very stupid thing to do, and what's the general is doing is just uh trying to reput the... things in place, concentrate on the people inside of israel and concentrate on the war in gaza. well, dr. mohammed, i mean the ticking of time can't we say that the resistance is using this also to pl

is complicit in the genocide that israel is conducting in gaza. it is our responsibility to show that as people of india we refuse to be complicit in that. even if our government wishes to continue with what it does, we want these weapons exports to stop immediately. it is the bombing of hospitals, the destruction of universities, the attempt to erase the very... people have of that place. despite ban on pro- palestine protest in india, citizens and activists continue standing with gaza. israel and india have seen a growing trend in their relationship since 2014 when bharatiya janata party took the helm of the indian government. new delhi is one of the main buyers of israeli arms and continues to provide weapons to israel, including rockets and explosives. new delhi and that's a wrap for your latest here on press tv everyone, thank you for joining in and bye-bye for now. air pollution is serious cause of concern, but exporting the pollution to poor nations is even worse. watch in this documentary how places like akra fall victim to the greedy nati

the arabs of israel george gilder is the author of the israel test how israel's genius enriches and challenges the world. and he's spent a few minutes with us here on book tv. thank you so much,

is small and israel must be expanded so this israel remember israel is no more than a western mercenary army planted in the very heart of the arab and muslim world, its aim is to inhilate the palestinian people, launch more wars and order to keep the interests of the america of america of the west, regardless of any course. okay, at the experience of the indigenous population and people of that part of the world. okay, well let me get eves in in this conversation. let's just think about what is being said when we talk about 50,00 tons, 50,00 tons of military equipment sent in 10 months to be used in one of the most highly densely populated areas in the world, were at least 47% of the population or kids, i mean your thoughts, and and and how can the... us justify doing this? well, it it certainly can't justify doing this uh by any serious moral standard, it's a uh, it's really, it's a holocaust in gaza, i mean it's a level of destruction and displacement and uh immiseration and trauma and uh effort to basically destroy a whole population, so it's clearly unjustifiable. uh, the quantity i

or is it that israel is simply an extension of the regime in washington? you know, i'm just going to add, just to answer your question and continue, mr. said mosan's comment, america will support israel into the last american soldiers dies in that cause, that's the level. forget palestinian deaths, they're willing sacrifice their own for this cause, and that's the reality. they will get involved in a regional conflict, israel will get them and they will commit. that and that's the sad reality, so when you hear this comment that we will defend them to the tilt, this is a repeated mantra, we have continuously heard for the past 75 years pretty much since israel's existence, and i think this is this is something that that really gets kind of old now, what are you defending, are you defending as mr. mohsan abbas accurate rape, are you defending the killing of children, are you defending the bombing of hospitals, the same standards that you're holding and pointing fingers at russia. these allegations against them of bombing hospitals and the attacking civilian

israel outpost in the northern west bank. now don't forget this comes top of israel's announcement of what is called the single largest palestinian land grab that's happened in recent history uh that is in over 30 years actually and that is over 1200 hectares of land in the jordan valley. with the partial loosening of restrictions on withheld customs money to the pa, it doesn't even come close to solving the pa's economic crisis. really, israel's economic sanctions have forced hundreds of thousands. well, in this case, hundred thousand really barred workers uh from the palestinian side, these are public sector employees uh who are barred and therefore they have to um figure out a way to make money because they can't survive on little or to or or no salaries when the month uh ends and this is while israel still maintains its revocation of work permits uh palestinian laborers who used to work in israel are the ones as i mentioned suffering from it um they were employed in is really settlements uh before operation alasa flood. now these measures all together have crippled the flow of mon

be aware that israel's war is an identity war. yes , israel is never short-lived. it must be managed well. mohammad shenas, the expert who is with us in the lebanon studio and fortunately, they are fluent in farsi and we can talk with them. hello, sir , have a good time. good morning , mr. shenas. it's half past four beirut, hezbollah's operation began, the response operation. beirut, this operation was successfully carried out . the israeli media announced that more than 320 missiles and drones were targeted at the occupied territories . hezbollah has made two statements so far. and he announced that he will announce the details of the operation of the targets that were targeted in the center of occupied palestine. which achieved that these targets are very sensitive targets and hezbollah's statements will talk about this in detail in the coming hours. the israeli media now announced that the preventive operation doing it before hizbullah started their operation, but this is a lie of the israeli media as soon as hizbullah's operation started and half an hour. afte

war where israel treats it as an existential threat for it, so israel is they declared that, well wef course under more thread than before, and that's why it's... more on alert, paul's show today inside of israel that almost one third of israelis are thinking of leaving the entity, they don't believe that it's a safe place to stay anymore, and that's why it should be under the maximum alert and it is under the maximum alert in all of of its history. well with that we're going to continue, lishen bit is concerned about netanyahu and his ministers and is imposing restrictions on their movements after stern threats from iran and hazbullah to italy for the assassination of marter ismail hany. שמקיימים השרים מחייב אישור אישי של ראש השבק עצמו, כלומר הם לא יכולים להגיע לשם בלי האישור שלו. בנוסף אנחנו מספרים ששגרירויות ישראל בחול יונית הונכו להעלות כוננות ולהגביר אירנות לייומים שונים. שגרירים ונציגים דיפלומטים אחרים התבקשו להוריד פרופיל, לא ללכת לכל מיני מקומות או מי אדם, פשוט פחות להתבלט. החשש שקיים הוא תגובה איראנית נגד סמל ישראלי או יהודי. senior figures, could they nevertheless target se

region both in israel, north of israel and tel aviv. recently, there have been fears after an escalation that the israel hamas war has caused. into the region, that because of what we are seeing that an israeli strike that killed a senior hezbollah commander would result in something that we are seeing today. let's go straight to msnbc's ayman mohyeldin. the host of ayman. we were talking at the end of last hour. and as we are looking at what appears to be a clear sky, but according to a statement from hezbollah, there could be more. it appears they have not fully put together nor announced all of their objectives, whatever they may be. on the flip side, could this be the quid pro quo based on the killing and the assassination of their number two leader and this will be it? and anything in between? >> it is safe to say right now, it is too premature to be able to make that assessment. iin the coming hours we will hear from the israeli military on what has happened. when you look at the nature of the operation, it seems as the israeli mi

israel attacked hezbollah, israel attacks the houthis before they do something. can you dispel that and knock that down for the people who don't follow this as closely as we do? yeah, these are good questions, kevin. you're always coming at it from the right angle tactically. let me address the first part of that. it's not just signals, israel is a master at developing assets and those assets are foreign agents who we flip and they supply information. let me give you an example. mosab hassan yousef, who, was the son of one of the founders of hamas. we arrested on weapons charges, believe it or not, by my unit back in the 90s and ended up flipping him and he ended up becoming a very, very useful source of information which prevented many terror attacks. and we have that capability to be able to do that all over the world. so in a combination of signal, but really what it comes down to is these ph.d. level psychology psychologists who act as our recruiters, our actual, what they call katsas or case agents who are able to flip using the highest levels of harvard lev

israel's reprisal. so we're in this vicious cycle that, that it is almost impossible for an economy, for society and even for individuals to cope with and adequately prepare for has. the government been preparing israeli society for the possibility of fighting a two-front war? yeah. well, you know, reality has rather than the government of the government has basically is basically not communicating with the israeli society for the last ten months, there's a prime minister who most israelis and consistent polls is interested in his political survival rather than in a national security while people justified the war in gaza after the debacle and the catastrophe of october 7. >> a few short months there after that, they cease to understand what the political goals war and then came the balah friend, which actually began in october, but it deteriorated significantly at the beginning of 2024. and that already is seven or eight months ago and so the government keeps on talking about the need to deal with hezb

israel will continue? to find loans from the financial markets, but israel will do it paying higher interest range, all of us we can understand that this increased price for funding the israeli economy will mean that money will not go to education, will not go to infrastructure or the health system, but must go now ' to pay the interest rates to the financial system, there is something more, we heard very recently a prime minister of israel, benjamin nahu saying that israeli economy is very strong, is resilient etc etc. the decision of all the credit rating agen so just the opposite of this of the word of of benjamin netanyahu, now israel is in a very difficult position because they must announce new budget and everyone can predict that the new budget must include many austerity measures to. lower the the expenses and to lower much more the public deficit, and in this way israel to respond to the credit rating agencies. all right, thank you for that. let me bring in our uh next guest for this first segment

the branch produces weapons for both the uae military and israel. the uae state-owned firm mubadala has an 11% participating interest in the tamar and dalit leases which includes the bountiful tamar gasfield. mobadala has also invested in the israeli venture capitalist firm pintango venture partners, originally named polaris venture capital. it was founded in 1993 by hey perez. the son of the late israeli president shimon perez, also the uae has invested in the tech firm, cynap tech, which is closely linked to the israeli military, the chairman of sinap tech is the former defense minister and idf chief of staff moshe yalon, the uae is deeply economically integrated with the zionist entity. david, what does it say do you think about the abraham of call? that included a promise by the uae to invest 10 billion dollars in israel, well what you see in the the developing relationship between the saudis and the ue prior to october the 7th is the development of a sort of tripartite strategy, the sies didn't didn't blow their trumpet about it, they kept quie

we have today listened to the state of israel, israel suggests that the genocide convention is primary for their protection, and because of that it is not capable of violating its own provisions. the outcome of the legal effort was that based on the 1989 genocide convention, the icj, instead of using the legal terms of ceasefire, which refers to a confrontation, ordered that the genocide. should stop. germany, france, and other western countries that have supported israel had no choice but to diplomatically accept the verdict. at least in appearance, this place is different from the security council in legal terms. from 1948 to 2016, 225 resolutions have been passed in the security council on the issue related to palestine and the zionist regime's behavior, and more than 102 of the resolution. are against the actions committed by israel that violate international law, but all of them were vetoed by the us, and the resolutions became ineffective. it means the security council as a political pillar of the united nations, lacks the value of justice. the un general assembly can also be con

the specter of an imminent iranian retaliation hangs heavy over zionist israel as the regime scrambles to contain the fallout from the assassination of hamas political chief morter ismail hanh in tehran. with that western. has returned to its familiar playbook, spreading unfounded claims like wildfire, to protect zinast israel from facing the consequences of its actions. let us hear from foad itayam, our broadcast expert, more about it in fake news expose. western media has a long history of pedaling, lies and fabrications that serve the israeli regime's interests, the infamous story of the 40 beheaded babies, the alleged rape. by hamas forces on october 7 and the fabricated story of a palestinian rocket striking the al-ahli arab hospital are just few examples of the blatant misinformation spread by american and european outlets in the past 10 months. the newest episode of lies comes after the notorious zionist assassination of leader ismail hanye in tehran and hizbullah commander fuad shukr in beirot. what do you have for us this week fd? thank you. like you said western media never f

happen, israel is not alone and israel has no ability to face all of these challenges alone, it relies on the united states and without a united states who is leading this war for israel, it will find itself in a big problem, and maybe the regime cannot tolerate this even for few weeks. the surprise element of iran's response is not letting israeli authorities and military rest as they are on alert 24/7. as tension escalates in the... asia region, uncertainity surrounding where and when iran might respond to the assassination of the hamas chief has left regime's cabinet on edge. this has promoted widespread debate in israel on how to be best prepared for potential full confrontation with the resistance access. naqa badges for press tv, al quds. in yemen, new government dub, the government of construction and change and has been informed. new administration's task with rebuilding. country and negotiating peace with riyad following years of saudi led war on yemen. press tv abdul latif al washali reports. the supreme political council and sana a governing body formed in partenship between

israel only understands the language of force president erdogan said he will do to israel what turkeyd in libya and karabakh. i call him to do this now, the genocide has been going for months and if we don't act now, when are we going to take a firm stance? meanwhile, the turkish. president condemned the assassination of hanye in a statement, saying that zionist barbarism would once again fail to reach its goals. erdogan added that the war on gaza and israeli terrorism would end with the islamic world standing stronger. people here are in a state of shock over the assassination of hamas leader ismail hanye. they say israel has gone too far, calling on the turkish government to take a firm stance. rusan saglam, press tv, istanbul. in an interview with press tv, geopolitical analysts says a geopolitical analyst tiberio graziani uh says that the hamas leaders assassination in tehran is closely connected to israely prime minister benjamin netanyahu's recent trip to the us. let's take a listen. it's reasonable to think that there is a connection between netanyahu's trip to the us, his spee

i think israel uh wants to uh crush any spirit of resistance in the region and israel lives on committing violence. they are not. willing to become peaceful uh with their neighbors in the region, they keep provoking um the palestinians other people um in the middle east region, and i think netanyahu doesn't want to leave the political scene without achieving something uh more obvious, i think it's up to the uh palestinians, up to the free people of the world to stop israel's ambitions uh expansionist uh interest in the region, and on that what... kind of impact do you think this assassination uh will have on the resistance on hamas and it's decision makings and and the direction of this genocidal war? first of all it will uh delay and cancel any mediation efforts with the palestinan resistance because killing the head of the delegation that israel was negotiating with through qatar and egypt it's so stupid like you know they are making things complicated uh if it's going to affect the palestinan resistance not at all it will have zero impact the palestinan resistance will continue. to bec

it's not an exclusive right of israel. moreover it is a fact that israel is an illegal occupant in the state of palestine and possesses no right whatsoever in our territory and over our people. this was unequivocally determined by the icj in the seminal advisory opinion are rendered just days ago on the 19th of july. this ruling must be respected and enforced. israel has no sovereignty rights and no right to self defense in a territory in which it is illegally present coming grave breach of every rule of international law. this illegal occupation, in all its manifestations must come to a end and the palestinian people must be free. mr. president, israel has been the oppressor, tormentor and murder of palestinians for decades and it is the long-standing destabilize or of our region. it must be stopped. the obligations of the security council and general assembly, the obligations of all states including the high contracting parties to the fourth geneva convention are to act forth with to bring a end to this unlawful, abhorre

, death to israel, death to israel, death to israel, death to israel, death to israel , death to israel '. and do not say to him that the dead are killed for the sake of allah, but resurrected, but they do not feel them. i am al-mu'minin, men of charity , we pledge to god against him, and we are men of love, and we are waiting for change, o muslim brothers, o brothers in the islamic republic of iran, or umm al-islam, all of them, o ahrar, nod al-yum. the leader of our path in the movement of hamas and resistance nineteen palestinian martyrs, ninety-nine leaders , ninety-nine great martyrs in the heart of the field, and he is leading the al-aqsa storm against the zionist occupation, but because of the attack of the leader ismail haniyeh, if the zionist enemy thinks that the assassination of our leader will divert our path, he will weaken our will, he will reduce us all, so it is an illusion that the zionist enemy has committed a new crime today, show it to the world. again, the zionist entity is the source of evil. it is the source of injustice, it is the source of instability, and the w

so one of our film even says, israel is judy, is them, and judaism is israel. i mean, i've had many people on the center in the center. right. and many people have told us that, that they really believed that these 2 things are linked. and i think what we're trying to do is show that ruling over millions of people without basic rights for decades and decades and decades. is not judaism or southern jewish about it as someone actually said, recently one of our screenings, and actually many americans use support israel, or think they support israel because they think is real, is aligned with their values. we often hear narratives of israel being the speaking of democracy, the only democracy in them, at least. it's a amazing place for queer people. these are the narratives were taught. and when we actually see with our own eyes, how israel is true, the palace to mean people, both historically or in the knock book and, and the occupation obviously this ongoing genocidal bombardment of gaza. we realized that actually the opposite is true. that is really policies don'

i stand for iron clad support for the state of israel. uh, the democrats have a problem, and as your other guest was. referring to your guests in romala was referring to is that they're trying to not have a division a significant division open up at the convention that would endanger their chances which i have improved tremendously since biden dropped out of of retaining the presidency of winning the presidency in november but the big the big problem that they have and the big big potential problem that they're trying to to cover over or sometime in some way uh remove it from the headline is the genocide that's going on in gaza, the genocide carried out by us weapons and while they talk about things like this where as was pointed out they biden said that they have the protesters have point, it's trying to smooth over things, the reality is is that yeah they had the... protesters of course have point, they have a completely valid point, the genocide is going on and it has to be stopped, but at the same time the weapons continue to flow fro

how to punish israel today?rontation in a multi-front war, after the funeral and burial ceremonies of marters haniah and shukur, the hour of response is ticking, and we must be prepared, as stated by a former general in the occupation army. היום יותר מהר לתפיסתי ממה שציפינו ואני אגיד לך עוד אמירה שלי גם יותר מהר ממה שהיינו צריכים להיות ביחס להתמודדות שיש לנו מול חזבלה ואחרות המיקוד הזה שעושים פה והספקולציות וכל הניתוחים איך ומה יתקיפו קודם כל לא עוזרים לנו הרבה ביחס לא ביחס לחוסן הפנימי וגם לא ביחס אולי לאויב שממתין ועושה את'. destroyed by telling by speaking about ticking about the time taking till the punishment means that the superior entity netanyahu wanted to show for the others is now waiting to be punished from others and this shows how much they are under fear and how much they are weak number one number two what the general was saying is that israel should pay attention to the uh locals inside of israel because they are now afraid israel needs to treat them differently to have some strategies regarding

well, israel said recently the telegram has proven to be a massive challenge for israel since the start of the war. israel innocents wanted telegram to cooperate to censor content and to remove anti-israeli content. telegrams refused to have done that, but it is unclear whether israel had role in durov's detention. israel has been successful in controlling and censoring information on other social media apps, including instagram. facebook x and tiktok by the lobbing of a cyberwell and ngo with extensive actually um connections and links to israely intelligence, their slogan fighting antisemitism on social media. well on the 23rd of august, resistance news networks rnn telegram channel was banned across the eu, prompting them to activate their backup. on the 16th of august, facebook and instagram parent company metta permanently banned the cradle from his social media platforms. allegedly violating community guidelines by praising terrorist organizations and engaging in incitement to violence. durab's arrest follows recent efforts from western countries to sign us journalists and analyst

gathered at the chicago convention to call for a cease fire in gaza and an end to us weapons sales to israel demanded immediate and permanent cease fire in gaza. the convention kicked off on monday as thousands of democratic officials and supporters descended on chicago to celebrate camala harris's candidacy ahead of the us presidential election november. now meantime, the genocidal war on gaza is. more civilian lives using us supplied arms, ironically peace talks are also going on simultaneously. now welcome to the spotlight on and these are guests in this episode. professor of political science at university joining me from ramala. also with this is richard becker, anti-war activist with the answer of quality. out of san francisco, welcome to the show, now professor, let's start with this protest, i just told you about at the outside of the democratic convention venue in chicago yesterday, of course is four day event, now protesters have told camala harris that they won't vote for her in case the u.s. does not bandy regime, so it's quite evident that many americans are not cognisance of wh

so one of our film even says, israel is judy, is them, and judaism is israel. i mean, i've had many people on the center in the center. right. and many people have told us that, that they really believe that these 2 things are linked. and i think what we're trying to do is show that ruling over millions of people without basic rights for decades and decades and decades. is not judaism or southern jewish about it as someone actually said, recently one of our screenings, and actually many americans use support israel, or think they support israel because they think is real, is aligned with their values. we often hear narratives of israel being the speaking of democracy, the only democracy in the middle east. it's a amazing place for queer people. these are the narratives were taught. and when we actually see with our own eyes how israel is true, the palace, the mean people, both historically are in the knock book and, and the occupation obviously this ongoing genocidal bombardment of gaza. we realized that actually the opposite is true. that is really policies do

the main demand of today's demonstration is to stop arming israel. i think they should stop all arms sales, arms transfers to israel. it's it's just because of basic humanity. there are people being killed in their thousands and over the 10 months of slaughter. it's just not on, the call to action came after israel bombed a school in gaza city on august 12, killing more than 100 people sheltering in it. according to the uk strategic export licensing criteria, no weapons should be exported if there is a clear risk of them being used for serious violation of international humanitarian law. it's ridiculous that a genocide is taking place and this after 10 months there is still no concrete. arms embargo, we know if this was any other nation, there'll be an arms embargo right now, how can 40,00 palestinians be killed, and he was still thinking, is it too soon for an arms embargo? the uk has traditionally been one of israel's top three military supporters, it supplies about 15% of the components used in the f-35 war planes that tilaviv uses to bomb gaza, l

israel in these crimes and at the same time we see some of the arab regimes supporting israel with ships full of food and many other commodities for the israeli market and the israely society and at the same time they're closing the borders on palestinians especially egypt. we know that the trade have raised between united arab emirates. and israel, we see that jordan is securing a landline of support to israel, at the same time they are not doing even closely to you know supporting the palestinian people, and the more this war continues, the more these arab reactionary regimes will be exposed, the more israel crimes will be exposed and the more the united states will look at. as if it's the primary you know side to be blamed for this genocide because the united states have publicly and until now did not even did not even conden. israel, we have one minute left, let me give this one minute to moson abbas, moson evacuation orders, they displace the guys, they have nowhere to go, they go to to make shift you know camps to schools to take shelter there, no means of survival, and those place

enemies of israel will widely exploit in the media and provoke public opinion against israel. the hebrew daily further notes that such a pressure may even force the us government to stop supporting israel in the war. the concern the daily raised was realized after months and the us sought to protect itself from the fallout of israel's behavior which had legal repercussions. the uprising of words can continue, an international fact finding committee can be established to monitor the implement. the icj's rulings. according to the ruling issued by the icj, the israeli regime is tasked to avoid destroying the evidence that proves genocide. the committee can become a media arm to ensure the implementation of the clause of the ruling at the hag court. in the fourth geneva convention, it is explicitly stated that collective punishment is forbidden, attacking civilian hospitals is forbidden, attacking children is forbidden. attacking safe zones is forbidden, so even apart from the final judgment of the hague court, the high capacity of the ruling can drag the regime's officials to nat

the finger of suspicion immediately fell on israel.he regime had already vowed to eliminate hannah and other hamas leaders in response to operation al-aqsa flood, an initiative that has left israel's future hanging by a thread. but why did israel choose to carry out this assassination in tehran and why at such pivotal moment right after the official transition of power? what are the underlying objectives of the israeli regime and what far reaching consequences might this cowardly move unleash?

economy, if that is smashed and shattered, then israel is smashed and shattered, and israel can't survive if you have an exodus of people and capital and insurance markets empode, because if you shatter every building and commercial structure, the insurance market will... laps and israel is that fragile a on economic level, while the other groups and nations and and people from around the area, whether it's hamas or hezbulah, they have endured suffering, the israelies don't know what suffering is, but i think they're about to learn very quickly. it's really interesting that israel actually based on the reading that i just had based a source, had sent a clear warning toesbullah that it if it's attacks tel aviv will prompt to harsh israely response in beirot and against major assets of lebanon and hesbollah uh the way that these uh missiles and drones from hisbollah are targeted is very calculated, the reach that hisbollah has was revealed based on the drone footage that we saw of hyfa uh port, if you recall last week, i don't know if you saw that footage, it was scan of a drone uh of the a

israel. we're hearing. trey, that ben-gurion airport is closed for arrival and departing flights. we're also hearing that israel's security cabinet is convening in the next hour or so. what do you know? yeah, john, this is breaking news. israel has launched preemptive strikes against the iran backed lebanese militant group hezbollah. we know those strikes are ongoing at this hour. it comes as new rocket and drone alerts are sounding across northern israel. the israelis released a statement overnight saying that these strikes began as they saw hezbollah was preparing to attack israel. the past three weeks have been filled with tension across the region. in late july, we know that the israelis took out a top hezbollah commander, fouad soukar, in the southern part of the lebanese capital of beirut. that strike was in response to a rocket attack that killed 12 children in the northern golan heights city of majdal shams. this all led to the rising tension across the region that has been unfolding
